Don’t know about Cinatras,, but in the fifties, early sixties the Orchid, ballroom Purley. Was on the right side going from the Tesco junction toward the fire station junction.

Fairfield halls I'm sure it was called, use to go to the wrestling fights big daddy, giant haystack etc when on TV I use to rush home too see if I could see myself on TV many moons ago, sorry if I'm boring.

Where was the Railway Tavern did it become the Swan and Sugarloaf, The Greyhound once had ACDC, Bad Company and Status quo on the same bill, i think 1976, i was 11, too young, But i remember the Cinema in Crown hill with fondness

(just by the bridge)
i think its the later.
